phpmyadmin exporting to csv for excel

Question

I\'m having problem using xampp (4.1.6) phpmyadmin export function. When I export, I select csv for excel format, but it will return the data like:

1;\"data1         


        

Answer 1

Just check the Put columns names in the first row checkbox above the Go button.

Answer 2

You almost got it right, you just have to check the "Put colums names in first row" checkbox and then start the export. That should do the job.

EDIT::

Since your doin it your self you can get the fieldnames with this MYSQL query:

    SELECT `COLUMN_NAME` 
FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`COLUMNS` 
WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA`='yourdatabasename' 
    AND `TABLE_NAME`='yourtablename';
